An announcement that was expected. The Cannes Film Festival unveiled the official poster for its 2023 edition on Twitter this Wednesday evening April 19. This year, the organization puts the actress Catherine Deneuve in the spotlight, thanks to a photo taken in 1968 on the set of the film La Chamade, by director Alain Cavalier.
“The iconic Catherine Deneuve embodies what cinema should remember to be: elusive, daring, irreverent,” wrote the Cannes Film Festival account, before continuing in a statement: “The Donkey Skin actress is an incarnation of cinema, far from conventions and proprieties. Uncompromising but always close to his convictions, even if it means going against the grain of the times.
The 76th International Film Festival, which prides itself on a “timeless poster”, will take place from May 16 to 27. His mistress of ceremony will be the actress Chiara Mastroianni, daughter of the French Catherine Deneuve and the Italian Marcello Mastroianni. 19 films have already been announced in competition, including three Italian films: Towards a Bright Future by Nanni Moretti, The Kidnapping of Marco Bellocchio and The Chimera by Alice Rohrwacher.
